--I'd say in the beginning of January! :) Happy New Year!
--Twelfth Night, or January fifth, is the final day of the Twelve Days of Christmas. After that you take down your decorations. But of coarse it's entirely up to you.
After Christmas
People need to take down their Christmas decorations on New Year's Day.
This all depends on the individual family, as there is no Mormon religious custom about holiday decorations. Some families like to leave their Christmas decorations up longer than others. I grew up a Mormon, and we always took our Christmas decorations down the day after Christmas. Now that I am grown, I usually take my Christmas decorations down on New Years Day. Most facilities owned by the Mormon Church that decorate for Christmas take their decorations down shortly after New Years Day, which is customary for most people in the United States. Maybe the Mormons you know are either too lazy to take down their Christmas decorations, or they love Christmas so much that they don't want to take them down?
Luck does not come into it. That is just superstition. Christmas decorations should not come down until after Christmas is over. So that means you should take them down on the 7th of January.
Christmas decorations should not come down until after Christmas is over. So that means you should take them down on the 7th of January no matter what year it is. So in 2014 they should have come down on the 7th of January.
Christmas trees and decorations are traditionally taken down on 6th January.
The Christmas decorations must be down by 12th night, which always falls on the 5th January.
No, Christmas isn't about luck it's about sharing an caring

There is no fast rule and it all depends on the individual. Some take down their decorations on the day after Christmas, others after New Year's Day. Some wait until after the traditional day of Epiphany (January 6) which is considered the 12th day of Christmas. Yet others do not bother to take down their outdoor lights and leave them up year round, much to the consternation of their neighbors.
Still in storage in my loft, perhaps I will get them down today.
A store will usually decide its Christmas program once Halloween has passed. Some malls even being putting up Christmas decorations as soon as the Halloween decorations have been taken down.
